The Snap-On multimeter is great! You can use it to check the drain on your wallet.

[@attkissonautomotive802]

lol. best comment ever!

[@lingimee]

Bwahahhahahah

[@silinusvers]

I was having a shitty day, thank you for the laugh

[@nodriveknowitall702]

[@hiesterconst]

Great video as always!!! Thank you for your tool reviews and sharing your professional view on new tools. Snap-on always makes the best equipment and that Bluetooth feature is amazing!!!

[@perez861]

The Bluetooth will be the selling point for me. I work on aerial equipment I often have to take readings from the ground control while being in the basket. I have to be real creative to it. It should have a rubber protective case as option. Same with the multi-probe I would use it more if it had more drop or damage protection.

[@leewoods9142]

Along with a protective casing, a protector for the screen would be awesome, too. I would love a carbon fiber case with protective film

[@mcedillojr]

Thanks for putting out great content I just ordered my multimeter can’t wait for it to arrive

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

I know I’ve already seen this, but I really liked this review on Snap-Ons new Style of Meters. 💯👍🍻

[@3xfaster]

I’m clutching my Fluke 115 like a Bond villain does their cat! (Precious!) This looks like a really nifty meter tho, I have a feeling tho that you would have to get a separate phone just for it so that you don’t leave your personal phone behind someplace when taking measurements remotely when utilizing Bluetooth. I’m sure they are going to include a printout device, because knowing where I work, they want a Midtronics printout for every single charging and starting system test we do on PMs, unless it has a USB output to connect to a printer, but I guess that’s why you can email it all to yourself.

[@coolcats4710]

just brought mine love it so far

[@RustyRench]

Just bought one brand new for $600 from my Mac guy of all people, some older guy had it and was to advanced for him, still had the plastic over the screen. Thing is sick I love that multimeter

[@jimlove4541]

Thanks for the real review I As Master M B Tech have been looking for a modern replacement for My Mac low amp multimeter. I would love to have repeatability and a more modern replacement. This meter was the only one I know of that is inductive and is not atacheted to the voltage input. Thanks Jim

[@coreysuttles1362]

Great video bro! Awesome little meter!! 💪🔥😎

[@grimmreaper6894]

Hello everyone. Never used a meter before but that one sounds pretty good, easy to use and understand

[@TheDurbinCompound]

Looks like a pretty awesome unit!! I’m willing to try it!

[@Jason607]

I hear these comments about their $50 meter doing just as good. Sticker shock always gets me on the SO truck no doubt and I hate spending all this money on tools I could get cheaper but I hate it even more when I save a buck and end up with something that just doesn’t do it right. These guys who clean their cheap meters are just fine, I doubt they have been in the situations I have been in. Just picked up this meter. It will be fine. Had a Mac one that was great except the leads keep the pulling out of the meter. The fluke is a great meter too by the way.

[@Stevieboy-102]

Just got one today. Good video brother.

[@JRC54]

One awesome tool. Thanks for the run thru. It's on my purchase list. Snap on definitely should have at least included a lanyard or strap to hang it.

[@RustyRench]

Mine came with a strong magnet strap which has a hook on it to. Magnet holds it pretty good. I always usually take my new tools home and check them out.

[@RustyRench]

O and it's got velcro on it to

[@micksautoelectrics8750]

Glad i saw your video thought i had a faulty amp clamp, Thanks for explaining how it doesn`t work :) Great multimeter though

[@fatsheep08]

I think the Bluetooth would be useful for checking bad wires hooking the meter on one side then using the phone to look at the meter while shaking the wires looking at the ohms but I think it would be nice also to see a hanger for the meter to hang in a position at eye level instead of on the floor while in different positions were it might be difficult to view

[@joshspulnik3140]

Thanks for video Looks like nice tool SWR

[@shawnhimel1969]

Great Tool and great video.

Brilliant video Rustbelt Mechanic Thank you for sharing it with us Take care and have a great day Rustbelt Mechanic Got the Tools the leads not long in never But great Tools from Snap-on 🇺🇸 loved it From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I ordered one weeks ago and still haven’t received it. I think the stuff starts on the coast and works it’s way in. Thanks for the coverage.

[@mattbrennan8088]

nice first look. Some of the features are pretty cool

[@guzforce]

Thanks for the video. And about the buzzer sound for testing continuity? Does it work nicely?

[@Unbleachd]

8:23 game changer for draw tests pulling fuses

[@adammcalpine231]

What do you use for a scope? What would you look for if you were trying to buy one? I'm trying to find like a handheld but there are so many options its hard to know whats actually necessary and what's just marketing fluff

[@BradyK29]

That is a very nice DVOM.👍

[@alvinring1888]

Will the graphing in the app graph high voltage 120 or 240, I do heating and air and want graphing for intermittent problems

[@PoptartFps]

All the guys saying its not needed. Well im a heavy equipment mechanic and I work on a lot off boom lifts. Its nice to be able to go 60 feet in air and leave the meter on the ground work the controls and see my voltage on my phone 60ft away. Great way to test stuff. But 50% agree with being just a pretty meter that snaps the wallet.

[@mendozamilitia]

Thanks for the review bro, i like it I think same as you 👍

[@kevinscott9499]

I just bought one. Kinda hard to hold a meter and test an outboard motor the app makes it easy and visible in the sunlight

[@davetuttle9701]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@Diagnosedan]

The tool can be used for Electric vehicles, but it looks like it doesn't do an insulation test. So you'll have to buy another meter to do that. And who uses a rpm pick-up? A good Amp-clamp would have been more useful.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

I HIGHLY agree with this. I tried to use the low powered amp clamp and they’ll have to come out with one tuned to this meter

[@TheKylefiebiger]

very true. I just bought this today for the blue tooth feature alone. i was working on the combine last night and i need to measure the voltage going to a actuator that only runs for 3 seconds and that is impossible to do when the switch is in the cab and the actuator is on the back of the combine. When i was checking it out on the truck i was under the impression it was a amp pick up and while watching this video i learned other wise and i am slightly upset about that to say the least. But there is always tomorrow to spend another 700 dollars lol.

[@xandersmith9832]

Badass meter there

[@dmurf4156]

Thanks for the video Rustbelt, I attempted to replace the battery and the case does not separate easily, do you have any advise on where the lock or notches are to pop this thing apart? I just didn't want to damage anything until it gets more dirt on it... Thanks again from the Ohio country, where "rust are us"..

[@Waldo425]

Just got one the the other day to replace my Fluke 115. The Bluetooth was a big selling point for me. Seems like it’s probably the last meter that I’ll need in my career -- also why I shelled the money out.

[@nickboyer963]

I have the same One but mine came with a really cheap flimsy plastic case. Do you know if you can buy the case you have separately

[@mrcraneoperator870]

Just picked up this meter from my snap on guy. I purchased it along with an "accessories" package with a whole thing of different test leads. I'm impressed with the presentation of it all and looking forward to using it but damn don't want to get this thing dirty lol.

[@michaelpatton5012]

What did it run you

[@mrcraneoperator870]

@michaelpatton5012 the meter itself was around $700 with the accessories running an additional $200 if I'm not mistaken. About a grand for the whole thing. I'll get you the part numbers for both when I get off of work later today if you'd like.

[@sophiasocal68]

I borrowed another mechanic's multimeter and I was like..wow... loved it.

[@juliotorres512]

The low amp probe work on the mill-volt scale no matter what dvom you use wether it's A hi-amp or low-amp probe the scale is always the mv scale.

[@amalgamated6448]

I’m in the market for a new meter. Does this one give you an option to check the dwell? I do a ton of air cooled vdubs, so I need to check the points.

[@daveh9907]

I didn't even open the box, Thanks for the review, but it's going back. still looking for an Amp Meter.

[@mavrick666999]

Hey Rustbelt Mechanic what lights are you using in your hutch? I'm looking at upgrading to LED from the florescent style I have. Thanks for the review on the Multi-meter mine should be here any week now.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

It’s the snapon strip led that is magnetic switch triggered, I show it in my box tour here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2GkmautoZlnoLs

[@chadwalton8448]

Ordered mine today.

[@carlspiller3452]

I was under the impression the clamp was a low amp clamp not a rpm pick up...i guess my dealer didnt know that either. It would be nice if they had a low amp clamp for reading battery draws to go with this. Im a little pissed the clamp is a rpm pick up.

[@WA-zl6ju]

Good video. Nice job

[@KimboDogg07]

Love this tool... My Snap-on guy gave me pretty nice discount so I bought it. So far I have no issues with it. Even If later on, Snap-on came out with a meter more geared like a scan tool, with instead of using your phone and a app, everything is now on the multimeter screen... I would still hold on to this one.

[@workingtorelax1223]

That would be extremely helpful in my work. Would be so much easier to claim warranty on slide out motors leveling jacks hydraulic pumps and air conditioning units to just graph the operation record it and email it off to the mfg to show I’m not bs ing them on the readings. Only thing I didn’t catch was if it has a clamp amp tool for reading amp draws. Would really like to see it in action on a amp draw if so. Nice review bud.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Thanks man, I tried to do an amp draw with the low amp clamp and it really isn’t tuned towards this application. But hopefully in the near future they will have one that is not so touchy and tuned for this meter.

[@workingtorelax1223]

O man your kidding. If it had that capability that would be so worth it to me. Sometimes the money is an issue but on the other hand sometimes it’s easier to make the money with the right tools. Let me know if u hear anything about that.

[@luxuryacuraz]

Great Video

[@Jpilgrim30]

$700 is far too expensive for a basic pretty looking meter. For that price you can get a decent scope

[@Iwhishihadyoutube]

Can you explain what decent scope you are getting for $700?

[@Jpilgrim30]

Blake Pankratz You can get a brand new 2 channel pico 4225 for ~$700. You can get the Autel 4 channel that you can use with a laptop for $500 or even a little less. There are other options as well. You can get a Micsig 4 channel tablet oscilloscope for $400-500 on Amazon that has great reviews from people that use it for automotive purposes. I picked up a otc 3840 when I was browsing through the pawn shop one day last year for $200. I already have a pico 4425 but it was too good of a deal to pass up. It looked brand new with the plastic still on the screen and all the leads still in the packages. If you can’t find a decent scope for $700 then you’re not looking hard enough.

[@Iwhishihadyoutube]

@@Jpilgrim30 Thanks for the info, I have not heard of the Micsig, and did not know Autel made one. I will look into those options. The reason I'm even on this video is because I was hoping they had added a scope feature to this multimeter.

[@user-ec5oe7qy4v]

The pico scope is the way to go if you don't need a handheld scope. If you do want a handheld scope, get a vantage pro. You can find them used for around $600-700. You can't go wrong with either option. I'm not a fan of the autel scope but love their scan tool. Happy wrenching

[@attilamadarasz3630]

300 is right price

[@mattperske6594]

I think for the price its a great DVOM. Im with you on the amp clamps. Snap on does offer a few options on amp clamps but the prices are a little out of line for an accessory. I was really looking forward to being able to change the function from the app. I think that is the biggest downside to it. It is VERY fast reacting, and that is the biggest plus in my opinion. All in all I am very happy with my purchase so far.

[@toddnicoll9711]

Bidirectionality would make it worth $700.

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

What Clamp would you recommend for amp draw testing on a battery? 🍻👍

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Unfortunately I’ve not found one that connects into this meter to work really reliably. Because it’s such a low amperage that you are looking for, the meter would need to be “tuned” more or less to the clamp. I use the snapon eedm570.

[@justina9621]

Have you tried the rpm magnetic pickup yet?

[@cartmanbrah8937]

It's funny how he grabs the temperature probe like if it has germs or something haha

[@tomaspaez8352]

Tank for share the product

[@BuiltOverBot]

I am not sure the refresh rate will be fast enough to get to graphing faster then that, you might need an oscope for that. For a comparison you can use the Owon B41T+ multimeter it has similar specs and capability minus doing the math for rpms vs hz.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Yeah turning a wheel speed sensor hand fast was about as fast as it could graph and still be legible.

[@Iroc_twan]

How did you mount your tv on the hutch

[@nerdyparent]

Thanks i appreciate the info

[@nerdyparent]

If you get a chance check out my toolbox tour video, i need to update it soon though

[@philh9238]

i still have a flip phone. dang now i gota buy a 500 phone with the meter....

[@johnmarvel7298]

Coming from a 26 year old, don’t change phil. The old methods work just as well.

[@davidwalle5025]

Good review honest from your view point. Snap on should stick to wrenches and sockets. For the money you can buy a fluke with more options and can measure dc current with a amp probe type pickup.

[@wamgoc3637]

David Walle Fluke is the best portable electronic test and measurement house. SO should stay in their lane, electronic T&M is not it.

[@jackhays2682]

I noticed when checking continuity the beep is very muffled can barely hear it

[@thelifescout8335]

Think I’ll stay with my fluke

[@peterjones6945]

A lot of 'Snap - On' meters were rebranded Fluke with a grey case. Maybe they found someone to make them even cheaper to maximise profit?

[@isaacc9908]

Fluke is better period but they are a bit more pricy than the snap on but if you have a fluke stay fluke

[@verajavi12]

Anybody know the Bluetooth range in distance ft or meters???

[@mechtechtools838]

$700 that is crazy. Can do same tests with $50 multimeter. But I guess you are paying $650 for the Snap-on logo and $50 for the multimeter. Logo should say Strap-on because your dealer just gave it to you hard and dry

[@gearheaderic8282]

When u find a $50 multi meter that records lmk. Along with the huge screen! That could be very handy as well!

[@colslaw69]

They sell lube too

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

Happy Thanksgiving Bro. I want one. Not sure why I don’t use them often enough to drop the coin, but looks pretty sweet too me.

Great job, will this some how link to Verus Edge

[@RustbeltMechanic]

No it will not, I forgot to throw that in the video but it does not. It is only IOS or android app based.

[@DandyDon2k]

Get the Fluke 289 with the ir3000 wireless connector. It puts the Snappy to shame for the same price.

[@ronvonbargen8411]

If my fluke 87v ever dies. I might consider this snap on meter.

[@mt1885]

How much is the tool multimeters?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

$699

[@101numlock]

Amp clamp should work on any DVOM. Turn auto range setting off. Set it on DC volts. Amp clamp should show conversion scale on front of clamp. Ie 10mv for every 100 ma.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Yes it does work that way...only other thing I would point out is that if on mA setting the meter has a small resistive value that is not accounted for. Would be interesting to see a good low amp clamp tuned to this meter.

[@hunternolasco2544]

just picked mine up for $500 off the truck. truck prices are usually cheaper than retail

[@joeybarth3121]

Haven't seen on my truck yet how much do they cost ?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

$699

[@matthewkline7842]

I have on wished the advance kit came with an Amp clamp then the spark plug wire clamp that no one really uses or ever will

[@cartmanbrah8937]

I'm not a mechanic. But why do mechanics have to buy Snap-on if I hear it super expensive? Is Craftsman or Husky tools or their boxes not good?

[@felixf5211]

It would take a couple of days to answer your first question. The answer to the second question is No (with some caveats).

[@fixitman82]

Is the fuse easy to access and what type does it use?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Yes it’s not like the older B-D class meters where you had to pry half the meter part. Four screws on the back panel and the two fuses are easily accessible, not exactly sure about the fuse numbers.

[@fixitman82]

@@RustbeltMechanic ok cool thanks was hoping that it used automotive type fuses like the vantage thanks

[@Airman..]

How fast is the Sampling rate?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

That will be the next test to see how fast of a signal it can pickup but my guess would be about the speed of turning a wheel hub by hand and graphing the wheel speed sensor.

[@yermoffroad]

You can get all that minus the tach for 200 bucks from the southwire 15190T.

[@allenk5649]

Verdict meter with wave-forms is more useful.

[@dirtyhandstv2904]

What about the 1 man taillight testing?!

[@connorbroyles3369]

They need to make bluetooth leads that way your meter is away from danger and ease of measuring outputs and inputs

[@GCraigmile]

roaddoglv ,,, I would use the $700.00 for anything better.. Snap On needs to stick to hand tools.. I have a Modis and use the scope all the time and that scanner BUT as we both know there is/are better out there for the same money.. But there hand tools are very hard to beat.

[@roaddoglv]

@@GCraigmile I like the form factor but the Snap On tax is a bit much for what it does. I think most that would buy have EC accounts and just add them to that. I've got a Solus Ultra but sold my thermal imager and borescope. Better options for less money. I've got a Fluke 87 and a 199c but the remote phone app is appealing. I'd be better off selling the 87 and getting a 1587 or the like.

[@ericnarvaiz9216]

[@mythril4]

If you really want the ultimate meter for automotive, get a Power Probe IV or the hook, you'll seldom to never touch that meter again. The RPM thing I shrug at since wires have all but gone away and those clips don't work on coil packs.

No way, 700 and no scope. The meter that came with the verdict has a scope they use to sell it stand alone and it was around the same price.
